AUDIO TECHNICA - AT95E MM CARTRIDGE
The Audio Technica AT-95E MM Cartridge is a Killer... and the for the Money... It Can't be Beat!
STEREOPHILE RECOMMENDED!
Leave it to Mr. Michael Fremer to uncover a bargain Audio-Technica phono cartridge from Japan! After much difficulty, we found a source for this “diamond in the rough!” This cartridge is quite a performer, given its low price. While the Audio Technica AT95E isn’t going to dethrone any of the great cartridges in the $100-$300 range, this affordable piece is perfect for those of you who need to replace a worn cartridge on an older table or an affordable upgrade on an entry level table. This Moving Magnet design has an output of 3.5mV, an elliptical stylus and a recommended tracking force of 1.5 to 2.5 grams. We found a 2 gram setting to work great. As Michael Fremer put it, the Audio-Technica AT95E “makes music for around 50 bucks!”
